I agree with your experience. I think Rahul is wrong in this case.
This is standard behaviour in our least-favourite OS. It could be
said that you are asking for it to be uninstalled if you uncheck it.
Exactly, which is why pirut is on my "do not use" list.
Pirut has similar behavior as Yumex or Synaptic for example.
Unselecting a package in the package list clearly means remove the
software in all these package managers.

Actually, in Synaptic, unselecting a package means right click, navigate
a menu, see a pop-up window telling you what is going to be uninstalled,
and click OK or cancel. A far cry from "unchecking a line". It isn't
something you can do by accident.
Pirut prompts with the complete list of dependencies before
uninstallation too. That prompt had a timeout which is removed in the
latest update. If you unselect a package and accept a dialog box for
confirmation, then your packages are going to get removed. More hand
holding is unnecessary IMO.
